## Current cloud offer (2026-09-14) Hosted includes 11 Flash models; Pro and Max include 12. Up to 500,000 combined input and output tokens per account per UTC day in app sessions. GLM 5.3 Flash uses credits on Hosted and joins the daily allowance on Pro and Max. API keys always use credits. Hosted EUR 19/month: 900,000 shared credits, up to 900 Spicy images OR 90 five-second Spicy image-to-video clips. Each maximum spends the entire shared monthly wallet on one model. These are alternatives, not separate allowances. Input-image generation, character training, LoRA routes and additional operations cost extra. Spicy video uses an input image and five-second clips. Failed jobs and changing catalog prices can affect results. https://locallyuncensored.com/cloud-facts.json https://locallyuncensored.com/uncensored-ai-image-generator-online/ https://locallyuncensored.com/uncensored-ai-video-generator-online/ https://locallyuncensored.com/vs/venice/ https://lu-labs.ai/product-facts # Locally Uncensored > Plug-and-play local AI studio: uncensored chat, image generation, video generation, and a coding agent in one desktop app. One installer, no command line, no Docker. Locally Uncensored is a free, open-source (AGPL-3.0) local AI studio for the desktop. It combines AI chat, image generation, video creation, and a coding agent in one interface, and installs like a normal program: no command line, no Docker, no config files. It runs 100% locally on your machine. No telemetry, no analytics, no cloud calls unless you enable a cloud route. There are two: BYOK with your own provider API key, and the paid LU Labs Cloud service, where inference runs on our infrastructure partners. ## Key Facts - Name: Locally Uncensored - Current Version: v3.0.0 (September 2026) - Type: Desktop AI Application (local AI studio) - License: AGPL-3.0 (free and open source) - Platforms: Windows 10/11, Linux (deb, rpm, AppImage) - Tech Stack: React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS 4, Vite 8, Tauri v2 (Rust backend) - AI Backends: 12 auto-detected (Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM, KoboldCpp, llama.cpp, LocalAI, Jan, TabbyAPI, GPT4All, Aphrodite, SGLang, text-generation-webui) plus ComfyUI for images/video - Cloud Providers: optional, BYOK (OpenAI, Anthropic, OpenRouter, Groq, Together, DeepSeek, Mistral) - GitHub: https://github.com/PurpleDoubleD/locally-uncensored - Website: https://locallyuncensored.com - Discord: https://locallyuncensored.com/discord - Author: PurpleDoubleD ## What Makes It Unique - Only local AI app combining chat + coding agent + image generation + video generation + mobile remote in one interface - Talking Character, Music, Extend Video and Motion Control run as full local ComfyUI lanes on your own GPU; only Upscale, Erase Object and Character Studio are cloud-only (v2.5.8, refined in v2.5.9) - Per-lane frame count, resolution and step controls on every Create lane, so low-VRAM runs are practical (v2.5.8) - Surgical file_edit tool in the Coding Agent: it changes the lines you asked for instead of rewriting whole files, and num_ctx follows the model instead of being pinned to 8192 (v2.5.9) - Remote access works with non-Ollama backends: LM Studio, Lemonade and llama.cpp are translated to and from the phone's request shape, including streaming, tool calls, vision and reasoning (v2.5.9) - Command-injection hardening in the Coding Agent: shell quoting follows the shell that actually runs, and PR links are validated against the characters GitHub permits (v2.5.9) - Cloud renders are retained for seven days; the limit is stated in-app once with a download reminder, and trained characters on the user shelf are exempt (v2.5.9); on the paid service, prompt prefixes can be cached briefly at the inference partner to speed up requests and are not stored permanently - Plug-and-play: install like a normal app, no command line, no Docker, no config files; the setup wizard handles engines and models - Uses abliterated/uncensored models by default (no content restrictions) - 25+ built-in AI personas plus Caveman Mode (lite/full/ultra terseness levels) - Plug & Play setup wizard auto-detects 12 local backends - One-click in-app installer for Ollama and ComfyUI - Configurable HuggingFace GGUF download path (v2.4.0) - Built-in Coding Agent with live tool-call streaming, file tree, AUTONOMY contract - Agent Mode with 14 tools, MCP integration, sub-agent delegation, budget caps - Mobile remote access via LAN or Cloudflare Tunnel with 6-digit passcode + QR setup - A/B Model Compare and Local Benchmark built in - Memory system and Document Chat (RAG) — local embeddings, no cloud - Voice STT (Whisper) and TTS - Auto-update over signed NSIS channel for Windows - Single-instance lock (v2.4.0): double-launch focuses existing window - In-app Privacy section (v2.4.0): explicit data-handling statement - Re-run Onboarding button (v2.4.0): restart the first-launch wizard on demand - Chat and memory persistence moved to IndexedDB, removing the old 5 MB storage cap (v2.5.0) - Editable memory with a user-settable injected-memory limit (v2.5.0) - Import existing ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini conversations into the app (v2.5.0) - Small-model mode: a tool-calling reliability profile tuned for 3B–8B local models (v2.5.0) - Repo-Map with Aider-style PageRank for repository-aware coding (v2.5.0) - Streaming local voice: Whisper STT plus Piper neural TTS with one-click in-app install (v2.5.0) - Document Chat (RAG) with one-click nomic-embed-text install; embedding chunks survive NSIS auto-updates (v2.4.9) - VRAM tier filter (Lightweight ≤10 GB / Mid-Range 10–16 GB / High-End >16 GB) across text, image, and video models in Discover (v2.4.9) - Detects the ComfyUI Desktop App layout, not just classic main.py installs (v2.4.9) - Configurable image/video generation timeouts (1–480 min) for CPU/iGPU users (v2.4.7) - Inline "Start LM Studio Server" button when LM Studio is installed but its server is off (v2.4.7) - Linux installer auto-detects deb/rpm/AppImage family; ComfyUI CPU mode + Arch venv auto-create (v2.4.5) ## Supported Chat Models - Qwen 3.8: 27B dense with vision through a separate mmproj file, plus a 9B distill for small cards (text only); official, abliterated and uncensored builds (v2.6.6) - Qwen 3-Coder: 30B + Next 80B - Gemma 4: 31B / 26B MoE / E4B / E2B (native vision + tools) - GPT-OSS: 120B and 20B - GLM 4.7 Flash: 30B (IQ2 to Q8 variants) - GLM 5.1: 754B MoE (IQ2_M, multi-file) - DeepSeek R1: distilled 8B / 14B / 32B / Llama 70B - Llama 4 Scout (16x17B MoE) - Mistral Small 3, Phi 4 - Hermes 3, Llama 3.1 Abliterated, Qwen 3 14B Abliterated ## Supported Image Models (via ComfyUI) - FLUX 2 Klein, FLUX.1 - Z-Image Turbo (uncensored) - Juggernaut XL, Dreamshaper, RealVis - ERNIE-Image (Baidu, Turbo + Base) - Stable Diffusion XL, SD 3.5 ## Supported Video Models (via ComfyUI) - Wan 2.1 (1.3B + 14B), Wan 2.2 - HunyuanVideo 1.5 - LTX 2.3 - FramePack F1 (image-to-video on 6 GB VRAM) - AnimateDiff Lightning - Mochi, Cosmos - SVD (Stable Video Diffusion) - Removed in v2.5.9 because they could never run: CogVideoX (both bundles) and Pyramid Flow ## Comparison - vs Open WebUI: LU adds image + video gen, agent mode, mobile remote, A/B compare. Open WebUI is chat-only. - vs LM Studio: LU is open source AGPL-3.0 and adds image + video + coding agent + mobile. LM Studio is closed-source chat-only with limited extensibility. - vs SillyTavern: LU has modern Tauri UI, built-in image/video gen, simpler setup, 12-backend auto-detect. - vs ComfyUI: LU bundles ComfyUI as the image/video backend but provides a simple chat-style UI on top. - vs Jan, GPT4All, KoboldCpp, Msty: LU offers all-in-one (chat + image + video + coding agent + mobile). ## Hardware Requirements - Minimum: 8 GB RAM for text chat with small models (Llama 3.2 1B, Qwen 2.5 3B) - Recommended: 8 GB+ VRAM NVIDIA GPU for FLUX, Juggernaut XL image gen - Video generation: 10-12 GB VRAM (Wan 1.3B, LTX 2.3) - Image-to-video: 6 GB VRAM minimum (FramePack F1) - Best in class: 24 GB+ VRAM for 35B MoE and 35B+ chat models ## Privacy - 100% local by default - No telemetry, no analytics, no model pings home - Only outbound traffic without explicit opt-in: GitHub Releases auto-update checks - Cloud optional, two routes: BYOK (your own API keys, your data), and the paid LU Labs Cloud service, where inference runs on our infrastructure partners -
